Since gas started to go down and winter started I've dropped from around 18/19 mpg to now 13.3! Is anyone else having this problem?
 
I have noticed that. Don't know if there is any relation between the issues.

It's because it's winter. Where I live they switch to a winter blend of gas, so my mileage goes down a peg or two. Just coincidence that the prices started dropping as the winter blend started.
 
Where do you live? If you've been having heavy snow and using your four wheel drive often, that'll drop your mpgs as well.
 
I'm in NH. I was aware of the 4wd thing, haven't been using it much this year. The only reason I've noticed it this year is because I have a Scanguage hooked up all the time that I never had before.

Winter gas combined with the fact that these trucks get horrible mileage when it's cold out. I only get about 13-14 MPG in the winter.
 
My mpg has dropped majorly! I get about 12miles per gal. But of course it's not to bad, I can completely fill my truck up for 25 bucks!
 
Just made a round trip to Dallas and back. I go on a semi-regular basis and got almost identical mileage to all the other trips I've made.
 
I know I'm late to the party, but next time your at the pump check for a ethanol sticker. Now most Big gas providers are cutting the gas with 10-15% ethanol. It cuts cost but you loose (combustion) MPG's.

I burn 93 Exxon fuel and get 20mpg around town and up to 25 mph highway. Overall 20 mpg. Couldn't get anything on 87 Octane. Trans also shifts better with the 93.
